Hi All

Try

https://uk.farnell.com/multicore-loctite/629443/solder-wire-80-18-2-0-91mm-500g/dp/629443?CMP=KNC-GUK-GEN-KWL-MAN-L5Pages-New-Structure-25May2020-LOCTITE&mckv=_dc|pcrid|437370420948|&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsZbSq_Hi6QIVCLrtCh3EzwKgEAAYASAAEgIpjvD_BwE#

This is from a UK supplier but they are part of the AVNET group of which Newark 
is/was also one of their companies. Expensive but you may be able to get 
smaller reels

Many many years ago I had partial success soldering aluminum coax shield to 
copper wire using the motor oil technique. I also believe I had some flux 
(unknown type) that helped.
But I had no luck with motor oil last week and can not find the flux I had, 
which might be a good thing as it is 20 years old.

So what is the easy reliable cheap method to get the job done?

Chuck
